DEATH OF EDEN H. DAVIS

In the death of Eden H. Davis the people of the community sustain a great loss and the legal fraternity an eminent counselor. For years he was regarded as an able, careful and safe legal advisor. His varied and extensive knowledge of human nature, his indomitable will and excellent memory rendered him formidable in a legal contest. He was pre-eminently a self-made man, and by his own industry and perseverance attained his high position at the bar. A few years of his later life were rendered a blank by that dreaded disease of all great brain workers, "softening of the brain."

His death occurred May 31, at high meridian. His remains were followed to the tomb on the following Sabbath by a very large concourse of citizens, friends and relatives. The funeral services at the residence were conducted by Rev. B. F. Foster, of Indianapolis, after which the remains were taken in charge by the Masonic fraternity, numbering several hundred, conveyed to the tomb, and buried with their usual form and ceremony.
